QUEST73, a KC10 Extender lands at KCOS. The last KC10 is scheduled to fly out of Travis AFB in September of 2024, marking the end of 30 years of service. It will be replaced by the KC46.
I happened to be photographing a high school golf tournament at Pecan Valley near Benbrook Lake this past weekend when this Boeing KC-46A Pegasus tanker passed overhead on its way out of Carswell/NAS Fort Worth JRB. This particular tanker is 17-46025 and was delivered to the Air Education and Training Command on 18 May 2019. I believe this particular airframe is assigned to the 97th Air Mobility Wing at Altus AFB, Oklahoma, for crew training. Within the wing, the 56th Air Refueling Squadron has responsibility for KC-46 Pegasus training. Prior to being reactivated in 2016 to become the training unit for the Pegasus tanker, the unit was the 56th Military Airlift Squadron 1965-1968 training crews for the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II before transitioning to the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy in 1969, becoming the USAF’s first Galaxy unit. The unit trained C-5 crews from 1969 to 2007, when it was deactivated and lay dormant for eight years until the KC-46’s arrival. The 56th ARS received its first KC-46A Pegasus in February 2019. #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KNFW #NFW #airport #planespotting #instaplane #Carswell #NASFortWorthJRB #FortWorth #Boeing #767 #KC46 #Pegasus #USAF #AETC #AirEducationTrainingCommand #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #mil_aviation_originals #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation #TeamAvGeek https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-5pzRhICI/?igshid=cst9syza0apo
